Yeah I know this stuff has been discussed here many times before, but the Science channel posted this photo which is just of the Milky Way galaxy alone, and it has 84 million stars in it.
There's believed to be about 100,000 million stars in the Milky Way, and then you think about the staggering distance in between just each star, and the billions upon billions of galaxies that exist!

There was a recent short episode of Radiolab that showcased an astronaut and his stories about the darkness of space...it's pretty chilling.
